PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Paul Townend has wanted to be a pilot ever since he saw his first plane. As soon as he turns 19, he leaves his families farm near Winnipeg to join the Royal Naval Air Service. Within months of joining the airforce, he is engaging in dogfights over France and the English Channel. His most memorable being a dogfight with the most well known German war pilot, the Red Barron.
While Paul is fighting in the war, he sees a lot of tragedies including the death of his fellow flying mates and best friend Billy Miller who was in a dogfight against the Germans
When Paul returns into Canada, he's shaken by his experiences in the war but proud of what he and the other pilots have achieved.

The main conflict in this story was when Paul was sent to war to fight for his country. Paul had very little training or experience in flying when he was sent to England to fly war planes. Paul experiences long hours in the fields waiting to be sent on missions. Missions that are often centred around adrenaline rushes fighting against German fighters or bombers. When Paul set off to fight against the Germans, not knowing if he would return along with other pilots was a concern.

The theme of this book was "Hazards of War". Most of the book centres around a pilot facing dangerous situations at all times.

This book is written for people to read to get a better understanding of an individual's account of being involved in World war 1. It is also written for people who enjoy reading war novels and history novels.
I would recommend this book to veterans along with kids who are involved with cadets. Also to people who like reading books on war planes
